In case you missed it, Bernstein’s David Dai on March 9th held a conference call to discuss the technology of “3-D sensing,” which makes possible augmented reality, such as the “Face ID” function in Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone X. Dai sees a big future for the technology, as it moves to other manufacturers’ smartphones, and to automobiles, in the form of LiDAR. "3D sensing is taking off,” writes Dai, noting that it will be coming to more Apple iPhones later this year, and some select Android phones, something others have been expecting as well, though some have expressed concern there will be delays because of short supply of some components. As Dai points out, 3-D sensing has been around for several years, in virtual reality headsets and in drones.
